Question 3 Explain why “Sheila”, not “Pete”, should make the selection decision?

Yes, Sheila should make the selection decision. The reason, Sheila is the final authority
because Allen Guthire has to work under her. Pete is HR manager, so the job is his job. But
Allen Guthrie had to work under Sheila. Sheila is line manager. So, choosing a worker is not
her job. Granted, Pete was looking for an employee, but the employee would have to work
under Sheila. Therefore, Sheila is more interested in employee performance than Pete. Pete
liked Allen’s performance, but he wasn’t appoint to job. The reason Allen is not working
under Pete. Sheila is the final authority because the employee is work to Sheila.

problems might occur as a result of these omissions?

Employment interviews are about developing skills set and ability. Purpose of an
employment interviews is to fine out of the suitability. To know the Background. Selection
decision is also important part of interviews. The offer of employment is called the
“preferred” for those who think it is necessary for the organization. Medicine checkup is
need. In order to work, good health is required.
In this case, Sheila also called the employee and should not talk for half an hour without
respecting the time. This does not correspond to the selection process. Also, the interviews
should be complete so that it is convenient. Similarly, Pete, who is also an HR manager,
should be alerted to the employee’s failure to interview. There was a lack of preparation, and
there was a problem with the error. So, they forgot about the Review of Applications and
resume in Selection process. They missed to check the Pre-employment Screening
Background and reference check. Similarly, offer of employment and Selection decision were
also missed. This failure becomes an undesirable problem.
